Introduction
Accessing medical cannabis in the UK can feel confusing, with strict regulations and limited awareness. Many patients aren’t sure how to obtain it legally, or what conditions qualify. At CannaUnity, we guide patients through the process safely, providing clear, evidence-based advice and personalised care.
Legal Overview
Medical cannabis is prescription-only in the UK and can only be prescribed by a specialist clinician. Products are regulated for quality and safety, ensuring patients receive reliable and consistent medication.
Key points:
- Only specialist clinicians can prescribe legally.
- Products are strictly controlled and licensed for medical use.
- Recreational cannabis remains illegal, so clinical guidance is essential.
Who Can Access Medical Cannabis
Medical cannabis may be considered for patients with conditions such as:
- Chronic pain – When conventional treatments haven’t worked.
- Neurological conditions – Including multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, or movement disorders.
- Mental health challenges – Such as PTSD, anxiety, or treatment-resistant depression.
- Cancer-related symptoms – Pain, nausea, or anxiety during chemotherapy.
Eligibility is assessed individually, based on clinical evidence and patient needs.
Preparing for Your Appointment
Being prepared helps ensure a productive consultation:
- Bring your medical history – Include diagnoses, previous treatments, and medications.
- Track your symptoms – Note severity, frequency, and triggers.
- Set treatment goals – Whether it’s pain relief, improved sleep, or mood support.
- Prepare questions – Ask about strains, dosing, forms, and side effects.
This information allows your clinician to tailor a safe, personalised plan.
